We report the case of a 19 year-old woman with solitary involvement of the ninth thoracic vertebral body and development of neurologic deficits. Trephine biopsy under CT examination was performed, and eosinophilic granuloma was proven histologically.
We treated conservatively and neurologic deficits improved rapidly after biopsy. Complete reversal of the neurologic deficits and the features of vertebral body healing on MRI and CT appearances were reported.
